Imprecise Minority-Based Full Adder for ‎Approximate Computing Using CNFETs

   Nowadays, the portable multimedia electronic devices, which employ signal-processing modules, require power aware structures more than ever. For the applications associating with human senses, approximate arithmetic circuits can be considered to improve performance and power efficiency. On the other hand, scaling has led to some limitations in performance of nanoscale circuits. According...

Guest Editors' Introduction: Configurable Computing

0740-7475/00/$10.00 © 2000 IEEE January–March 2000 Configurable computing machines (CCMs) are emerging as a technology capable of providing high computational performance on a diversity of applications, including 1D and 2D signal processing, image processing, simulation acceleration, and scientific computing. In many cases, applications solved with configurable computing techniques supplant the...

Optical computing: introduction by the feature editors.

This feature issue of Applied Optics: Information Processing contains 19 papers on Optical Computing. Many of these papers are expanded versions of presentations given at the Optical Society of America's Sixth Topical Meeting on Optical Computing held in Salt Lake City, Utah, in March 1995. This introduction provides a brief historical account of the series of optical computing meetings and a b...
